It doesn’t matter who you can’t see.

Ji Changsheng glanced around and whispered, "The Queen, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, none of them came to pick you up."

Ying Hongye's expression remained unchanged.

After receiving the life-extending elixir from Xuandu Temple, she has completely regained her composure.

After all, having received orthodox elite education from the royal family of Ying State in the past twenty years, being able to remain calm in the face of adversity is the most basic quality for Ying Hongye.

Although she had guessed that this time when she returned to the country, her closest relatives might kill each other... However, as disciples of the royal family, they have been mentally prepared for such things since childhood.

After all, there are too many examples in history books. Anyone who has read the books knows how fragile the royal family ties are.

Ying Hongye ignored the fact that her mother and three brothers were not present. She first bowed to the ministers of Ying State, and then introduced the ministers of Ying State and Ji Changsheng to each other.

After three minutes of greetings, Ying Hongye began to get into the mood: "Prime Minister Li, father said that the case of his assassination will be fully handed over to me?"

"Yes." Li Xiang answered decisively: "At that time, all the civil and military officials were present, and the Queen and the three princes were also serving by her side. His Majesty has made a solemn promise that the princess will investigate the matter, and no one can stop it."

"Okay, I'll start investigating now. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was a little unresponsive.

Li Xiang also subconsciously said: "Your Highness, it is getting late now, how about we check it tomorrow?"

It's indeed too late.

At this time, the sun had already set, the Ying Kingdom had already started its nightlife, and all the major office offices had gone off work.

However, Ying Hongye had worked with Ji Changsheng for a long time... well, not long, but she had learned a lot from him and quickly managed her time: "My father was assassinated, and I am worried about it. I just want to catch the real murderer as soon as possible. If you have any opinions, please keep them to yourself and wait until my father wakes up before suing me."

Now that Ying Hongye has said so, who dares to object?

Li Xiang objectively stated: "Your Highness, all government offices have been closed at this time. If you start the investigation now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deploy personnel."

Ying Hongye said directly: "I have my own arrangements. Changsheng, this is my seal."

Ying Hongye took out a golden seal with a black bird totem flapping its wings and flying on it.

"I will go to the palace to visit my father first. You take my seal and go to my mansion to reorganize the troops. I have already sent them a message and they are all waiting in my mansion. Before I come back, you start the investigation and my people will listen to your arrangements."

All the ministers were startled.

When Ying Hongye came back this time, he seemed even more decisive and ruthless than before.

Completely prepared.

Someone objected: "Young Master Ji is a demon... the young master of the Tiansheng Sect. It seems inappropriate to let him investigate the assassination of His Majesty."

Ying Hongye looked at the man: "Minister Ding of the Ministry of Justice?"

Ding Shiqi took the initiative to salute: "Your Highness, I am not questioning Your Highness, I just feel that Your Highness's arrangements are not appropriate."

Ying Hongye said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I don't dare, it's just..."

Ying Hongye interrupted him directly: "Changsheng, investigate Ding Shiqi first. I suspect he is related to the assassination of my father."

Ji Changsheng raised his hand and grabbed Ding Shiqi and suppressed him directly, then smiled and said to the ministers of Ying State: "You may not know me very well, let me introduce myself. Ji was the number one detective of Xuandu Temple, and now the number one detective of Tiansheng Sect. I promise everyone that I will never wrongly accuse a good person, and I will never let a bad person go. And I swear in the name of Master Yu that Hongye and I will never use the opportunity of investigating a case to start a prison when we come to Ying State this time. Our purpose is very simple - to find out the truth, that's all."

Ji Changsheng made his first appearance, using force first and courtesy later, and all the ministers of Ying State remained silent in the end.

Obviously, Ding Shiqi was the chicken that Ying Hongye used to kill as a warning to the monkeys.

There is a high probability that there is someone behind Ding Shiqi.

One only needs to look at how Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye treated Ding Shiqi in the end to judge what the purpose of Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye's investigation this time is.

They still need time to adapt to and evaluate Ji Changsheng's style of doing things.

Ji Changsheng also quickly made them understand one thing: the only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed!

Chapter 189 Whoever is investigated will die Ji Qingtian

Princess Hongye’s Mansion.

Ji Changsheng met with Ying Hongye's team in Ying State here.

Quality to be tested.

After all, it was his first time seeing it.

Ji Changsheng only discovered one thing at the first moment: "The relationship between the Wan Yao Kingdom and the Ying Kingdom seems to be good?"

A young woman with cat ears in the middle bowed and said, "Young Master, you may have misunderstood. Although the Wan Yao Kingdom and the Ying Kingdom have diplomatic relations, they are not particularly harmonious. After all, the two strongest countries in the world are the Wan Yao Kingdom and the Ying Kingdom. It is difficult for a true friendship to arise between the first and the second."

Ji Changsheng pointed at her cat ears.

The cat girl said, "I am a hybrid of human and cat. I couldn't survive in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, so I sneaked to the Kingdom of Ying. If it weren't for Your Highness saving me, I would have already become the blood food of the Monster King or the plaything of the big shots. It was Your Highness who gave me a new life. Your Highness has ordered us to obey the orders of the young master."

"what's your name?"

"Maoyi" means the Mao in thatched cottage and the Yi in dependence.

Ji Changsheng nodded and looked at Mao Yi carefully again.

When he was in Qi and Sheng, he had never seen a human-demon hybrid.

Ying State was indeed a big country, and he was able to see the world as soon as he arrived.

That’s right, since there are humans and demons in this world, how could there be no mixed-race children?

Ji Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Yingguo have a saying that demon lives are precious?"

Mao Yi nodded, but then shook his head and said, "There is indeed such a call among the people, but it will not become a trend. The real people in power in Ying State are all human. Although a human-demon hybrid like me will not be discriminated against on the surface, in fact, unless I get the favor of the big shots, I will never be in a high position."

"What is your current position?"

"The Princess's Housekeeper."

Ji Changsheng nodded and looked at the middle-aged man next to Mao Yi.

The other party took the initiative to bow and said, "Guan Dingrong, the commander of the guards in the Princess's Mansion, greets Young Master Ji. There is one Jindan, four foundation building, and eight Qi refining in the Princess's Mansion. I am at the peak of foundation building. However, we all wear special weapons, and we are not allowed to act recklessly in the Princess's Mansion if we are below the level of spirit transformation."

Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you can kill the Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Guan Dingrong nodded confidently: "Unless it is a top-notch disciple of a sect like Shi Yao or Young Master, 90% of Nascent Soul cultivators will be killed in front of us."

Ji Changsheng digested this information silently.

Guan Dingrong was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but with three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and eight Qi Refining stage cultivators, he dared to snipe at Nascent Soul cultivators, and he didn't seem to be bragging.

The Ying State is indeed unique.

"next."

"Greetings, Young Master Ji. I am Tan Yin, Tan Xiao's brother."

"The Tan family? The Tan family and Hongye are so close openly?" Ji Changsheng was a little surprised.

Scholars and merchants have cooperated very closely in all dynasties, but they have also tried to distance themselves from each other on the surface.

Is Yingguo an exception?

Tan Yin explained: "The Tan family once encountered a life-and-death crisis, and it was the fifteen-year-old Princess Hongye who helped our Tan family overcome the difficulties. Since then, the Tan family has become a staunch supporter of the princess. Even if our Tan family pretends not to be familiar with her, no one will believe it."

"Life and death crisis?"

"Yes, our Tan family offended the eldest prince." Tan Yin did not hide it, these things are not difficult to investigate: "To be precise, it was Tongtian Chamber of Commerce that took a fancy to our Tan family's business. Due to the government order of Ying State, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could not develop normally in Ying State, so they wanted to train our Tan family to be the representative of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Ying State. The eldest prince personally came forward to put pressure on us, and our Tan family was powerless to resist. If it were not for my younger sister's good relationship with Princess Hongye and letting the princess plead in front of His Majesty, my Tan family's current foundation would probably have been swallowed up."

Ji Changsheng immediately thought of the reason that Ying Hongye had told him about the eldest prince being idle - on the surface he was raising a fox girl, but in fact he was very close to Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and the Wan Yao Kingdom.

But now it seems that she played a big role behind the exposure of the eldest prince's affair.

"The eldest prince was left idle because of this incident?" Ji Changsheng asked.

Tan Yin nodded and said bluntly: "So our Tan family has no way out. We can only hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess gets better and better."

Ji Changsheng thought that this was not necessarily the case.

Just bet on another prince secretly.

But the risk is indeed great, after all, secrets are the hardest things to keep in this world.

From the current perspective, at least Ying Hongye has not found any signs that the Tan family is playing both sides, so Ji Changsheng certainly won't delve into it further.

"What's this girl's name?"

Ji Changsheng looked at the last woman who was the shortest and the most inconspicuous.

The aura of a golden elixir, a pure-blooded human, is nothing special. If he is placed in a crowd of people, he will be drowned out immediately.

But her introduction aroused Ji Changsheng's interest: "Zhang Bei, deputy captain of the secret magic team, nice to meet Young Master Ji."

"The Secret Law Team? The Secret Law Pavilion's secret law enforcement team? You are the deputy captain?"

"Yes."

"Hongye's hand is quite good." Ji Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Ji Changsheng actually didn't think that Mao Yi, a Jindan-stage human-demon hybrid blood master, and the guard team that Guan Dingrong said could kill Yuanying-stage guards were that important. After all, he could mobilize a large group of such helpers from the Tiansheng Sect at any time.

What interested him were Tan Yin, the heir of the Tan family, and Zhang Bei, the deputy captain of the secret magic team.

These two people, one a businessman and the other a scholar, can be the backbone of things if they can be used well.

"Master Ji, regarding the assassination of His Majesty, the Secret Law Pavilion has launched a full investigation and has found a lot of useful information. This is the information I compiled, please take a look."

Zhang Bei handed over a file.

After Ji Changsheng took it, he threw it directly on the table without any intention of reading it.

"That's not important, Captain Zhang. I want to know if your chapter is the same as Marshal Zhang's?"

The general of the army of Ying State was also named Zhang, and he went to the teleportation array to greet Ying Hongye and Ji Changsheng. Although Ji Changsheng did not have direct communication with Marshal Zhang, he remembered his surname and appearance.

Zhang Bei was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Ji, I was able to become the deputy captain of the secret magic team after going through rigorous training and selection, and surviving many dangers. It was definitely not because of my family background."

"Then it's the same chapter." Ji Changsheng nodded.

He simply ignored the minor information Zhang Bei mentioned and grasped the core point.

What rigorous training, careful selection, and life-threatening situations...

According to Ji Changsheng's experience, when Zhang Bei participated in the competition for the deputy captain of the secret magic team, there would be basically no other candidate for the position of deputy captain, unless Ying III personally sent someone to compete.

"Young people only want to break away from their family background and prove themselves. When you reach my age, you will know how happy it is to have a good father." Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Captain Zhang, learn to accept and be grateful. Your surname will definitely bring you a smooth life instead of strange looks."

Zhang Bei hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Although what the young master said makes sense, I am thirty-three years old this year, older than you."

Ji Changsheng glanced at Zhang Bei again and said with emotion: "Captain Zhang has taken good care of himself. Okay, let's talk business. Among the four of you, who knows Ding Shiqi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice that I brought with me? Ding Shiqi just openly questioned Hongye. I suspect that the person behind him is the real murderer who assassinated His Majesty."

Zhang Bei: "...Master Ji, why don't you take a look at the files compiled by our Secret Law Pavilion. According to our Secret Law Pavilion's investigation, Minister Ding should have nothing to do with this matter."

Ji Changsheng looked at Zhang Bei quietly.

This woman needs some discipline.

No wonder they are ashamed to admit that their surname is Zhang.

Is it shameful that you have the same surname as the commander-in-chief of Ying State's army?

Although he is already thirty-three years old, he is still young.

Although Ji Changsheng never boasted that his biological father was Yuanshi Tianwang, he had always been proud of his father and would never be ashamed to admit it like Zhang Bei was.

Mao Yi, who had been tempered for a long time, reacted faster. After all, he had been beaten by reality several times. Mao Yi pulled Zhang Bei's sleeve and said to Ji Changsheng, "Master Ji, I remember that Minister Ding was close to His Highness before."

"The eldest prince's people?" Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows: "Then they are enemies."

This time, no one among Mao Yi and the others dared to speak.

But not denying means admitting it.

"Since he is an enemy, it will be easy to deal with. Let's go check if the Ding family has any evidence of assassinating His Majesty."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Bei tried to remind him, "Master Ji, even if you want to investigate Minister Ding, you should investigate him personally, right? What can you find out by going to his house?"

"You'll only know after you go to his house."

"But shouldn't we investigate the assassination of His Majesty?"
